Check with member "Wild one". He might have a place up north that you can buy things a little cheaper than down here.

I agree OP!! Stock was too quiet. Like driving a Prius. lol

I went with the Flowmaster Outlaw direct replacement muffler on my '16 Ram Sport. If I had/have to do it over, I would get something just as loud, but without that DRONE!! It get bad sometimes. lol

I've found over the years, with many trucks and many different types of exhaust systems that "loud" is defined by the person in the passenger seat, no matter what I thought. And she approves this message------LOL

Yeah I’m pretty sure my wife wasn’t thrilled with the Flowmaster 40 series. On cold start ups I literally would wake up my house and probably neighbours house. If I backed up my truck it would rumble the house at 0530. So I started parking forward and woke up neighbours. I want a subtle low growl and no drone or little if possible.

There is a guy on CAll of duty with your username lol.

I’m being told I got the wrong muffler...

3 inch inlet and two 3” outlets. Could this not work ? I’m confused now.....

I believe its 2.5 or 2.25 on the back side for the 2 outlets... they should be able to make a connection regardless as long as they have the proper tools to adjust pipe sizing

That’s what I thought! Is it that hard to reduce a pipe 3” to 2 1/4?

I'm not too sure... I'd assume theyd go 2 1/4 upward but that seems like quite the size gap ... goodluck! A mufflex kit would have been a great choice.and I'm not sure if anyone had reccomended it but its direct bolt in and has the amount of pipe pre welded in

I’m sad today.... lol.

I contacted the seller and see if I can return this muffler. Still in the box. They are located about 15 min away so I can bring it back myself. It was through amazon so I’ll see how this plays out

Bummer... amazon is usually pretty good but I believe they take a small percent back off of your total refund...

Hi Addicted, we may be wrong, but from what we remember, the factory exhaust was 2.5" dia, which would be easy for your muffler shop to use a pipe expander on, or just slip the new muffler over and weld.

Amazon is usually pretty good about taking anything back. If you do end up returning and want some assistance choosing the correct muffler for your truck, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by Pm or phone at 1-800-990-0905!

Hey!!! Nice to hear from you! Luckily I was able to return it.

Looks like the part I’m looking for is 12588. Not listed under my truck profile on your site but comes up if I google it.

22” body 3” inlet and 2.25 outlets. Now to wait till it goes on sale lol. Which will be?....Ha ha

After swapping out mufflers on 2 trucks,( a 17 and a 19) and physically measuring the pipes the tail pipes are 2.25 flared to 2.5 at the muffler. At least on my 2 Bighorns

Update:

Wednesday I have an appointment to get an 18” maggy. I’ve been watching sound clips and doesn’t seem like a neighbour hater exhaust [emoji2369]. Deep distinct sound on start up. I’m sure In winter when it’s -20 Celsius it’ll sound loud but can’t be worse than my Flowmaster 40. That thing was ridiculous

I've had a 14" and 24" MF. The 14 sounded great but was a real droner. The 24 also sounded good and had very minimal drone. The 18" you ordered should be in between those two. I'm sure you'll like how it sounds.
